Piper hijacked in Mexico. Reason? Nuke Smuggling

BTW: When I was clearing back through U.S. customs coming back from
Canada in my Mooney the agent told me the U.S. is far more concerned
about Canada than Mexico. Anyone can get into Canada. Mexico has tight
borders, Canada has a welcome mat.

But Mexican borders aren't tight enough, as tight as they may be.

June 2005
The number of Other than Mexican or OTM apprehensions is up more than 30%
from this time last year, and that's causing logistical and financial
problems for the U.S. Government.

Border Patrol agents in the Tucson Sector have caught roughly 376,000
illegal entrants since last October 1st, which is the start of the 2005
fiscal year. About 9,400 of them are from countries other than Mexico.

"Out of the 9,400, approximately 8,000 have been from Central American
countries," says Border Patrol Agent Jose Garza.

Apparently, this is good news for Boeing:

I saw a quickie news brief on it and they didn't go into details on the
extent of the surveillance coverage areas, but I imagine it'll at least
focus on the known hot spots.

Not sure exactly what this all has to do with protecting against a
Piper, unless someone's attempting to push it over the border on the
ground

Ahh! But the DHS knows that the most dangerous Piper is the one you don't
expect to be pushed across several hundred miles of desert. ;-)
